Pipe Quantities Based on Depth

Engineered Efficiency fields a lot of tech support questions each day for our EE CivilAccess and EE GuidedAccess clients. Below is a common one we’ve seen quite often.

I am working on a cost estimate for several miles of waste water line.  I have my pipe networks complete and profiled in Civil 3d 2009.  I am looking for a way to determine the amount of pipe at a given size and depth.  For example I need to know how many linear feet of 54” pipe is at a flow line depth of 6-10’, 10-14’, 14-18’, etc., and continue for each pipe size.  Is there something in Civil 3d already I can use or something I can buy.

After the jump, read two possible methods that are available today in Civil 3D
